Watch Kate Middleton Give A Rude American Woman A Side-Eye Roll

Kate Middleton had her most controversial “American Dream” experience four years ago when she visited the Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem for a charity event and was told off by an American woman while she was busy wrapping gifts for the children. A clip of the Duchess of Cambridge giving the American supervisor a side-eye roll immediately made the rounds online, earning mixed reactions from royal followers.

Since she married into the royal family, Kate Middleton has always been mindful of her gestures whenever she’s out in public. There was a time, however, when she let her guard down. It happened after the American woman supervising the gift-wrapping station of the child development center she was visiting spoke to her in an obnoxious tone, asking her to “keep wrapping.”

The controversial clip showed the Duchess of Cambridge slightly distracted while wrapping some gifts as she was pleasurably talking to the women she’s sharing her table with. All of a sudden, the woman supervising the gift wrapping called her out in a rather rude manner and told her to just keep wrapping. Although Kate immediately got her attention back to the gift, she gave the woman a side-eye roll before she continued doing the wrapping.

Royal followers gave mixed reactions to Kate’s video, with some praising her for acting normal, given the situation she was in. But some also criticized her for her “attitude.”

Kate’s supporters claimed that the duchess was only being real when she gave the woman a side-eye roll. Critics, on the other hand, claimed that she was wrong to expect special treatment from the child development center.

Other supporters also claimed that Kate should not have been there wrapping gifts in the first place. “Wrapping is for commoners so she shouldn’t be wrapping anyways,” a supporter commented. “What kind of royalty parades her duchess to socialize with democrats?” another noted.

Meanwhile, critics pointed out that Kate should have known that she was there to work, not to just sit and chat. “You didn’t come here for a chat, lady, so keep working!” one critic said.

“Turns out she has an attitude too just like every other woman. Don’t put her on a pedestal because she’s the same as everyone else,” another critic said.

As a member of the royal family, Kate is living the royal fishbowl kind of life. With every aspect of her life subject to intense public scrutiny, it’s not surprising that even a simple eye roll from her could be such a huge deal.
